2 .SH NAME
3 dwm \- dynamic window manager
4 .SH SYNOPSIS
5 .B dwm
6 .RB [ \-v ]
7 .SH DESCRIPTION
8 .B dwm
9 is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
10 modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in
11 use and the task performed.
12 .P
13 In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
14 column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the
15 stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are
16 managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved
17 freely.
18 .P
19 Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a
20 time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in
21 several views.
22 .P
23 .B dwm
24 has a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard
25 input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the
26 focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window
27 displaying the tags and the window title.
